Severity Appeal (HRPCA) – Testimonial

I was charged with high range drink driving, there were a number of aggravating features (0.253 reading and a collision) and I had a previous mid range, drive whilst suspended and exceed speed of >45km/h

I really thought I was going to gaol.

Instead my solicitor persuaded the magistrate that a community service order was the right thing to do. The magistrate gave me 300 hours community service and 2 years disqualification – no fine and quashed the habitual offender declaration.
